Who is some guy I've never heard of?

Thanks, Alex.









Real answer: Who is the player who got credited with the goal when Steve Smith put it into his own net in the 1986 Smythe Division Finals

[Gaucho]

Perry Berezan. He has become the proverbial answer to a trivia question. Which is it?

Who is the player who got credited with the goal when Steve Smith put it into his own net in the 1986 Smythe Division Finals

Winner.

[MRandall25]

So what now?

[Gaucho]

I don't know...

Nick Ebert

[mikey287]

Nick Ebert a North Jersey kid...I know he was the last pick of the NHL draft last year, though 12 months before that, there was a lot of thought he'd be a first round pick.

I did look up what the significance of Berezan was...but I didn't know it off the top of my head to be honest (very cool, would have never guessed him) so I didn't say it...

[Gaucho]

mikey, you wouldn't last long at Jeopardy.

[mikey287]

and Taro is a good one, one of my favorite short stories in hockey.

[PghSkins]

Peter Taglianeti, Jeff Serowik, and Hal Gill

[mikey287]

I don't know about Serowik, but I do know for Taglianetti and Gill. Who are Providence College alums that played for the Penguins?

[Gaucho]

Taro Tsujimoto

Who was an imaginary Japanese player drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in 1974?

Great story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro_Tsujimoto

[PghSkins]

I don't know about Serowik, but I do know for Taglianetti and Gill. Who are Providence College alums that played for the Penguins?

Correct, in fact they all also played for the Providence Bruins.

[mikey287]

I'll give it a whirl...sorry, I'm a sucker for history. I won't let the thread die if no one can get it...but I'm assuming a Googler will figure it out...it's a two-parter, I need the goalie and the team. Struggling to put it in Jeopardy form...

Though not always given under the same criteria, the Vezina Trophy has been awarded to a goaltender yearly since 1927. In this one and only instance, it was won by this goaltender on this now-defunct NHL team.

Spoiler:

Roy Worters, who also played for the Pittsburgh Pirates and not only won the Vezina but also the Hart with the NY Americans. In different seasons, I believe.

Oh, and:

Spoiler:

Who is the smallest goaltender in NHL history?

[mikey287]

Correct. And as far as I know, correct. Shrimpy they called him. In my research, one of the best goalies of the era. Despite not having the same statistical success as Alec Connell or George Hainsworth he was clearly more highly regarded by both managers and media.

[mikey287]

Gaucho, you gonna ask another? I always enjoy hockey trivia, keeps me thinking...unlike the trade rumors thread...

Trevor Smith

[mikey287]

Who?

[columbia]

Exactly.
